Here are more titles for "The Great American Read". What is interesting here? I have read 15 of this group and I think the future winner is here. I am putting my money on "The Great Gatsby". It isn't my personal favourite, but it is on the curriculum of many courses and I am making a prediction that it will be the 'Great American Read'.
